Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

The thick-armored earthworm reacted quickly; realizing the situation was wrong, it immediately abandoned the food it had already put in its mouth.

A low, menacing roar erupted.

Its short, thick limbs gripped the ground firmly, and it turned to face the enemy. A yellow light shone on the surface of its yellowish-brown scales, making the scales appear even thicker.

Even so, the newly emerged predator's aura was clearly superior.

It is much longer than the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon, with a streamlined body that exudes power. Its entire body is covered with a layer of dark red scales that reflect a metallic luster under the sunlight.

What's most striking is the row of menacing, blood-red bone spurs on its back, which stretch from its neck to the tip of its tail like sharp swords.

Its head is more like a lizard's, with an extremely long snout, a mouth full of sharp white teeth, and a faint dark red glow deep in its throat.

"It's a Crimson Blood Dragon!"

Lin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became much more serious. He immediately recognized the name of the uninvited guest.

But his voice carried a rare excitement.

They were quite lucky; in the first three days, they found earth dragon soul beasts that were almost on par with the bloodline level of the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon.

Most of them were even weaker than the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon, otherwise Lin Mo wouldn't have needed to make the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon his target.

However, this Crimson Blood Dragon was completely different from the earth dragon-type soul beasts they had encountered before; it was a soul beast with dragon blood flowing through its veins.

If we disregard its own cultivation years and only consider the quality of its bloodline, this Crimson Blood Dragon is definitely among the top-tier bloodlines in this man-made Soul Hunting Forest.

What's even more remarkable is its attribute: a rare blood-attribute dragon soul beast.

From any perspective, the Crimson Blood Dragon, as the top predator in this area, is far more suitable to become the Little Fire Dragon's second soul ring than the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's gaze couldn't help but quickly sweep over the blood-red bone spurs on the Crimson Blood Dragon's back.

Judging from the length, thickness, and red tips of the bone spurs, this Crimson Blood Dragon is probably between eight hundred and eight hundred and fifty years old.

Even if there are some discrepancies, it is impossible for it to exceed nine hundred years.

It perfectly met his expectations.

After acquiring the Crimson Blood Dragon, Lin Mo did not hesitate to abandon the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon that he had previously chosen.

After all, whether in terms of bloodline level or age, the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon is much weaker than the Crimson-Blooded Wyvern.

This is simply the best option that has come to us.

He subconsciously clenched his fist. The little fire dragon beside him also sensed Lin Mo's thoughts, its body tensing slightly, and the flames on its tail flickering silently.

It is equally eager to fight.

Previously, because he had to be distracted to protect Lin Mo and Ye Lingling, the little fire dragon had not been able to use its full strength.

Now that it finally has an opponent that it can fight with all its might, it is extremely excited.

Like Xiao Lin, the little fire dragon, once in battle mode, is definitely a warmonger.

With this in mind, Lin Mo quickly began to make plans.

For ordinary aspiring Great Soul Masters, the maximum age they can withstand for their second Soul Ring is approximately seven hundred years.

This data has been verified by countless Soul Masters and can be said to be applicable to the vast majority of people.

But for someone who possesses twin martial souls, it's not enough.

His twin martial souls, especially the physical enhancement brought by his original martial soul, have made his physical endurance far exceed that of other soul masters of the same level.

In addition, the training he had undergone during this period, as well as the subtle improvements brought about by using Blood Explosion, had also significantly enhanced his physical fitness.

According to his own estimation, given his current physical condition, he is almost at the point of being able to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.

Even so, Lin Mo still did not intend to risk absorbing a thousand-year soul ring at the second soul ring position.

Firstly, his assessment of his own physical condition was only a rough perception and not accurate.

The process of absorbing a spirit ring is full of variables, and it is extremely risky to rashly challenge a top-grade spirit ring that exceeds one's own limits.

If you are not careful, your meridians will be damaged, and in more serious cases, it is not impossible for your body to explode and die.

Taking such a risk for a thousand-year soul ring is completely not worth it.

Secondly, and most importantly.

Even if his current physical condition has reached the level of absorbing a thousand-year soul ring, it would be better to choose a hundred-year soul ring that is old enough and of good quality than to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.

Just like the crimson dragon in front of me.

Without a powerful backer, it's quite eye-catching that a great soul master could create a thousand-year soul ring in his second soul ring position.

Once this news gets out, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar.

After all, in another time and space, Tang San's creation of a fourth spirit ring at the ten-thousand-year level truly attracted the attention of countless people.

Many forces had already taken notice of Tang San and tried to recruit him, while those rival forces that were certain they could not recruit him were secretly preparing to kill him.

Unlike Tang San, he doesn't have someone protecting him.

Without sufficient strength and background, acting so ostentatiously is no different from courting death.

He understood all too well the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind.

The Crimson Blood Dragon before him, with a cultivation of about 850 years, possessed a powerful bloodline, and its age did not exceed the limit he could withstand. It could be said to be the most perfect second soul ring he could find at this stage.

Having thought all this through, Lin Momo turned her head silently to look at Ye Lingling beside her and whispered, her tone incredibly firm:

"Sister Lingling, let's change targets. Let's abandon that armored earth dragon and hunt this crimson blood dragon instead."

Its spirit rings are more suitable for the little fire dragon.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling lowered her eyes and looked at the Crimson Blood Dragon on the field, which had begun to completely suppress the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon. This soul beast gave her a feeling that it was more dangerous than any soul beast they had encountered before.

In the short time they were talking, the thick-armored earth dragon with six hundred years of cultivation had its defenses, which were provided by the thick scales, broken through by the Crimson Blood Dragon.

This also shows that the Crimson Blood Dragon's strength is definitely not simple.

Ye Lingling remained silent for a few seconds, weighed her options, and then quickly made a decision.

She nodded, her voice still cool and detached: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

She trusted Lin Mo's judgment.

After spending these past few days together, she clearly understood that Lin Mo almost never fought a battle he wasn't sure he could win.

Those who dare to attack this Crimson Blood Dragon must have sufficient strength to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingling subconsciously looked at Lin Mo and the little fire dragon, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This person and the dragon seem to have some trump cards that I don't know about."

If that's the case, the three of them working together to deal with a soul beast with less than a thousand years of cultivation still have a chance of winning.

Moreover, they still have their trump card. Even if they really can't win, they still have Ye Linyuan, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, protecting them in the shadows.

Although Ye Linyuan was not a combat-type Soul Master, with his cultivation as an eight-ring Soul Douluo, killing this Crimson Blood Dragon would be an extremely simple matter.

On the other side, the Crimson Blood Dragon had clearly lost all patience. A burst of scorching blood energy erupted from its body, and its slender snout opened to bite at the Thick-Armored Earth Dragon's vitals.

It looks like it can't wait to kill the Armored Earth Dragon and enjoy the spoils!
